ACCOUNTING/FINANCE EMPHASIS Many states require candidates to study one year beyond the baccalaureate degree in order to be eligible to take the CPA examination. The School of Business offers a graduate program of studies in business and accounting that culminates in meeting the AICPA requirements and receiving the MBA degree. Undergraduate courses in business and accounting taken at other schools must be equivalent in content and credit hours to be transferred to the program. The MBA with an accounting emphasis consists of two phases. Phase I includes undergraduate courses that provide a strong foundation in the functional areas of accounting. Most states require CPA examination candidates to complete these courses at the undergraduate level. Phase I courses may be waived if the courses have been completed successfully prior to enrollment in the MBA program. Phase II has 48 quarter credits that help the student view the business enterprise as an integrated unit and emphasize strategic thinking and the development of managerial, finance, and accounting skills. Students may move from Phase I to Phase II, or may enter Phase II directly, depending on course work taken at the undergraduate level.
